Greenhouse Wireless Monitoring and Control System Based on Sensor Network

Abstract

In this thesis, an embedded system which is closely monitored and controlled the climate parameters such as humidity, temperature, and light of a greenhouses based on wireless sensor network on a regular basis round the clock for cultivation of crops or specific plant species which could maximize their production was presented. The designed system comprises beside the sensors from microcontroller, monitor, wireless communication based on XBee and respondents such as fan, heater and pump. This a low cost and flexible system can be empowered by a reliable management scenario in order to maintain the greenhouses environmental conditions. The designed system shows the importance of using the wireless sensor network in such application, where the installation, power and running cost were minimized. The obtained results show a good management performance to the greenhouse environment where the wireless sensor network can be utilized to form a network from several greenhouses.
